Editorial Summary

The creators explore various amenities and dining options aboard the Icon of the Seas during a stop in St. Thomas. They begin the day at the Pearl cafe for breakfast before briefly disembarking to explore the local area. Upon returning to the ship, they visit the spa area to sample fresh juices and explore the promenade, noting the preparations for the upcoming Ships Ahoy parade. The vlog highlights several ship features, including the ping pong area, the jogging track, and the view from the aft of the vessel. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to the Surfside area, which is designed specifically for families and children. The creators sample various included food items at Surfside Eatery, such as hot dogs and chicken nuggets, and visit the arcade. They also try food at Base Camp, specifically testing the Wisconsin cheese curds. The day concludes with the creators watching the Ships Ahoy parade at the center stage, describing it as a high energy event that brings much of the ship together.
